What is pledging?

            Pledging is perhaps the most important part in understanding the values of our Brotherhood with in Nu Alpha Kappa (NAK). When you decide to pledge NAK, it is nothing more than a promise. It is a promise to a life-long dedication to all of the ideals and purposes of the Academics, Brotherhood, and Culture/Community Service. This promise is made to all those who aspire to it, regardless of social, racial, or personal preference. Throughout the pledging period you will be faced with activities, obstacles, and decisions that will challenge your own beliefs and help you become stronger individuals; yet develop the skills of teamwork. With our encouragement, guidance, and support NAK will become a support system to help you achieve academic excellence, social growth, and a better understanding of what NAK is.

What does our pledge process entail?

Pledging is when you learn about us and our history. During pledging you also learn about yourself and your pledge brothers.

Why NAK?

Through out the years, brothers have entered numerous careers fields in engineering, law, medicine and business, etc. This provides a large business network to undergraduates who are looking for full time careers after graduation, internships or scholarships. - We have a brotherhood that spans beyond normal boundaries. We can go to any of our chapters and feel the brotherhood that is present between brothers at our chapter. - As a NAK, you will have the opportunity to meet different people, not only here at UCLA, but at 18 other universities where NAK has been founded and other universities where NAK is known and unknown. We provide a social network through means of national conferences, community service and social activities. - To give back to our communities. We do this by mentoring children, organizing food and toy drives, and providing manpower at several community and cultural events. - Amongst brothers, we provide moral support for each other by being there and listening to what each brother has to say. We give advice to each other from our own past experiences and personal relationships. - Brothers have taken a variety of courses in several fields of study. From this, we have been able to archive several books and class material, which is used by brothers for reference in their own courses. In addition, brothers have been taught by several professors and can recommend or warn other brothers of their teaching styles. - To enhance your professional qualities, such as leadership, teamwork and communication skills. Conducting meetings and presentations, organizing fundraiser, social events and community services, accomplish this. - Our fraternity has a national graduation rate of 96.2%. Of our graduated brothers, many of them have decided to continue their education in several graduate programs like law, public health, medicine, teaching, and engineering.

What about my grades?

This is often another concern when pledging a fraternity. We make certain your grades do not suffer as a result of pledging or being a part of NAK. Your academic success is our number one concern. Men of Mind... Men of Culture... Men of Pride...
